THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT
Columbia, 1995 featured in the Guess Who What When & Where Trivia Book

Slick, entertaining Hollywood concoction about a widowed president who's attracted to a lobbyist and decides to pursue her -- naively ignoring the political impact this liason may have during an election year. Appealing performances and a bright screenplay (by Aaron Sorkin) help this likable movie glide along past its considerable gaps in credibility. This is the ultimate wish-fulfillment movie, with a president who's handsome, funny, forthright, decisive, and honest. If only!
